4th Apr 2023 | April | Ethics Café Completing an Ethics application can be complicated and many applicants miss details or make errors. The committee regularly requests additional information about areas of concern within applications and request resubmissions. The Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) are facilitating open sessions where they will work through the application process, what should be included in the research proposal and will address common areas of concern. It’s a great opportunity to gain a better understanding of the processes, ask questions and receive good advice, with the aim being to hopefully avoid any need to resubmit. These sessions are open to Researchers, Academics and students who will be submitting an application for research involving human ethics. 04/04/23. 60 mins, 1200-1300. Presented by: HREC. |

6th Apr 2023 | April | Coding qualitative data – why, why not, and how to do it well This workshop will progress quickly from first principles of coding to more advanced issues and techniques. It will include an overview of key qualitative data analysis software functions, and the fundamentals of constant comparison. We will consider the risks you need to guard against when coding (including resisting temptations to be busy but not usefully analytical). We will look at real data together and explore the use of codebooks alongside issues like units of coding (sentences, paragraphs?), exclusive and double coding etc. At the heart of coding well lie the often overlooked questions: What am I coding for? Where do I think coding will take me in my analysis? Prior to the workshop, participants should: 1. Identify a key text they are using to guide their coding, and have to hand (digital copy is fine) a key page or short section from it that they can refer to and share (focusing on the rules, mechanics, processes for coding). And 2. Prepare an excerpt of data that you have coded, are coding, or are intending to code. It should be 750 words or so. Choose 3 codes that you might want your peers to look for in that extract, and briefly define them at the top of the page so they can use those definitions (do not show any coding you have already done). Anonymise if necessary. 06/04/23, 3 hrs, 1000- 1300 AEST. Presented by - Nick Hopwood, University of Technology Sydney. |

4th May 2023 | May | How to write up qualitative research with impact while keeping your reader on side Quantitative researchers have their tables, graphs, and equations. They can display their data, and use statistical tests to establish significance. Qualitative researchers need to meet the same demands of communicating evidence and significant, but must use a different approach. This workshop focuses on ‘writing up’ in three key moments – presentation of findings, commentary on them (including discussion that links to literature), and drawing conclusions. These are not always in a linear sequence of chapters in qualitative theses, or separate sections in journal articles, but nonetheless these moves are there. As qualitative researchers, we also need to manage smooth transitions between concrete, specific instances and more general, abstract ideas. Being in command of this can really elevate writing and its impact, and make life so much easier for the reader. In this workshop we will unpack examples of writing to identify their key effective ingredients in relation to presenting raw data, commentaries, making different kinds of claims, and those transitions between specific and general. You will also have time to examine and refine your own writing using the principles and strategies we discuss in the workshop. Participants should bring to the workshop: 1. An example of a qualitative study in their field that they think has been written up well – and which involved some presentation of raw data (eg. quotations from interviews, excerpts from observation notes), and 2. An excerpt of their own writing, preferably where findings are presented or discussed. We anticipate that most participants in this workshop will be in the writing-up phase and so have some draft text of this nature. 04/05/23, 3 hrs, 1300- 1600 AEST.

10th May 2023 | May | Editing and Proofreading Editing focuses on improving the 'big picture' of your work. It is how you ensure you have fully addressed the task requirements and involves making structural changes to your writing and checking the logic and flow. Proofreading focuses on specific details like spelling, sentence structure, and referencing. Adherence to the processes of continuous editing and final, meticulous proofreading optimizes the chance of refining your own work and improving your writing skills. This workshop offers guidance and practice in both these important aspects of successful research writing and offers practical tips on how you can develop necessary skills and techniques to edit and proofread your own work. 10/05/23, 90 mins, 1000-1130 AEST.

31st May 2023 | May | Navigating peer review: How to get published with your writing, ideas, integrity and emotions intact This workshop will cover crucial information and give guidance relating to topics such as choosing journals for publication, journal status (impact factor, rankings), reviewing processes. It will explain why papers get rejected – and buttress your defences against being rejected in the first place. We will then dive into the murky realm of peer review and reveal secrets of what really happens, pinpointing key moments and ways you can influence the process and outcome. We will work with real examples of rejection letters and reviewers' comments, enabling you to learn to 'read' them in a way that places you in a strong position to respond and decide what to do next. We will also explore examples of responses to editors, so you can influence the editor's decision and hopefully increase your chances of acceptance.

7th Jun 2023 | June | Ethics Café Completing an Ethics application can be complicated and many applicants miss details or make errors. The committee regularly requests additional information about areas of concern within applications and request resubmissions. The Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) are facilitating open sessions where they will work through the application process, what should be included in the research proposal and will address common areas of concern. It’s a great opportunity to gain a better understanding of the processes, ask questions and receive good advice, with the aim being to hopefully avoid any need to resubmit. These sessions are open to Researchers, Academics and students who will be submitting an application for research involving human ethics. 07/06/23, 60 mins, 1330-1430 AEST. Presenters: HREC. |

8th Jun 2023 | June | Mindful communication: Establishing and maintaining healthy supervision relationships Supervision relationships are one of the most important forms of support that research candidates receive. When they’re strong, the trust and respect that develops between student and supervisor facilitates honest dialogue and feedback, rich intellectual engagement, positive career development and lasting mentoring relationships. However, when they function poorly or break down, they can become a major source of stress for both parties and leave students feeling particularly isolated and vulnerable. Focusing on the role that communication skills, boundaries, voice and authority play in this space, the session discusses how to establish and maintain supervision relationships that are honest, comfortable and professionally nourishing for both parties. Drawing on the practices of mindful speech and listening (non-violent communication), we explore your experiences of supervision and workshop solutions to any issues of concern. For Supervisors. 08/06/23. 2.5 hrs. 1000-1230 AEST. Presenter: Michelle Jamieson, the Mindful Researcher. |
